I am a German and about to head to the States for the first time in ten years on saturday. If a wild Karen appears and told me to stop speaking German to my wife in a private conversation, I would probably just switch to Italian or French.
as a german, i would never want to go to the usa voluntarily, but i would love to spend a week or two on holiday in Canada. That would definitely be great.
@cassiusvip Turkish, German, English for my Turk-German Döner Face. German, English and Spanish for my German Potato (Husband). Yap, sounds about right! 😂
Brianna Pinnix had been, since then, fired from her job, due to her attitude towards germans tourists... Former colleague said she was a HR nightmare, and was well known for this kind of behaviour.
@@therrastrial 🤣According to science, your type is Mary Poppins. "Once intoxicated, this group saw less of a decrease in conscientiousness and intellect and more of an increase in extraversion than others. In short, "the Mary Poppins group of drinkers essentially captures the sweet, responsible drinkers who experience fewer alcohol-related problems compared to those most affected," the study explains." Mine's the boring one, the quiet Hemingways🧐
I went to Germany and all I experienced was other Europeans telling me to be careful of Germans and Germans being nothing but amazing. In fact my first experience out of the airport in Leipzig was when I struggled at the ticket machine for a train ticket when 1 woman comes with her 2 children and put the effort to try and understand my Indian English accent and help me with the ticket to Leipzig station. Permanent love for Germany.
Older people of the former GDR are generally used to foreigners from the Asian and African continent. Those were the days that students and professionals from Vietnam, Angola and Mozambique came to the GDR to live there for some time. It is a persistent cliché to presume that Germans, "especially" in the former GDR, would be extraordinarily susceptible to xenophobia. There are exceptions, certainly, but the general populace is simply hospitable and kind.
Leipzig especially is such a nice city with really pleasant and chill people. Used to live there for a few years before moving back to West Germany. Unfortunately rent has increased a lot there, since they build the LEJ airport logistical facilities and the BMW plant. Both of them brought tons of jobs and people into the city, so it's still catching up with housing at the moment. City seems to care a lot about it's people.
To be fair, what many people aren’t aware of is how mosaic Germany is. I would argue if you saw Leipzig you saw a very beautiful almost idealistic side of Germany. As someone who is very white but of slavic heritage, the racism was almost unbearable as a child. There are extremely cruel and rude sides to Germany, something you won’t see or experience unless you are forced to mingle because of immigration status or education. Tourists are not seen as a permanent issue they have to put up with and almost have a positive entertainment aspect to it. Once you are trying to integrate though, you realize how harsh their world is. Consider it love bombing. My darker friends all have been bullied viciously by police and government, my father has been treated like a disease because of his strong accent. I myself am only considered German now, because I forced myself to unlearn my accent and was the oldest who had to help my father after he divorced my mother. There is something worryingly apathetic about Germans. They can watch you burn and feel nothing.
@@rebekkakhigson yep those were the nice well mannered german young men. get in someones face like that on the bus to my block, you get f*ing decked no questions asked. probably robbed too. i'm moving away btw. :D
Once in New Mexico, a man approached two women speaking to each other and told them that if they wanted to speak "Mexican" then they should go back to Mexico. They told him they were speaking Navajo [a Native American language] and if he wants to speak English, he should move to England. LOL
Navajo Code Talkers helped during WWII. They were in the US Marines and would be paired up. One code talker who was sent into enemy territory would use a radio to send messages in Navajo, whilst his colleague at the other end would translate it back into English. A big thank you to the Navajo people.
The best answer would have been: “Ma'am, I swear we were not discussing our plan to invade Poland again, your access to vodka is NOT in danger, I promise!” 😂
Wonder how many Karen's have had the same reaction to the Native American Indians, whose land her ancestors stole, killing 1000s of them to do it. She is probably from German heritage. The Native American Indians favourite saying is when the ppl came from Europe they did not send the best of their ppl
My favourite experience of somebody hearing me speak in German was in England right after the World Cup finals, when a boy from a random passing family heard us, ask if we were German and then went on to shake each of our hands happily congratulating us on winning. Whereever you are now, little football fan, I hope people treat you as nicely as you do yourself. :D
Being Dutch and often in Germany I have never experienced that a German person was impolite or unfriendly to us just because we are are talking Dutch in public to eachother. German people are in general very polite. A few years ago I saw 5 teenage boys standing under a tiny roof with their bikes.It was heavy raining with thunder. As a mother I felt sorry for them. It turned out they were German boys on cycling holiday. I invited them inside, they felt cold so I gave them hot tea with cookies and towels and offered them to put dry clothes on in the bathroom. They were very appreciating and very well behaving and neat teenagers. One boy asked if he could make a picture of us to send to his parents. His mother replied to him and I got the message that she was very thankful to me and by saying goodbye he told me that he will never forget me . ❤ It hurts me to see these youngsters are treated so bad by this American woman and I am happy to read that all the other Americans are also very angry about her behave. Being kind, helpful and caring, special to people in a strange country doesn't hurt you!
bedankt, Goeden gedan. //These are the only Words i can speak in Dutch Language, not even cursing. But as a Greman, i can understand most of it pretty well.

As a German Turk who grew up in Germany, I have to say that you get different feedback from Germans among foreigners. It depends on which country you come from and therefore which language you speak. Assimilated foreigners had fewer problems than people who wasn‘t and Looks different and speak a completely different language. I didn't and still don't have blonde hair and I don't have blue eyes either. Bullying because of my appearance was part of everyday life for me at elementary school.
As someone who wants to learn German because I think their language is really cool, their people are awesome and the food looks great, this woman is going to haunt my dreams.
Hey a german here, i wish you the the best. I give you some tipps to learn it more smoothly: Watching shows in german with english subs. Helps to get familiar with the flow of the language. Dont be discouraged by the grammar. Even we hate our grammar lessons. Listen and or sing to german songs. We have great artists such as Die Ärzte Alligatoah Adel Tavil And some motivation: My english teacher came from texas and spoke not totally perfect german but was a very sweet man. I understood what he said and found him taking on our language and country a very brave and respectful choice. Our language can be confusing but we respect anyone trying to learn it.
@@yallinmuller7137 This guy knows what's up. All of those tips and more helped me become near fluent in German. I still haven't had the opportunity to visit though.
As a german, this absolutely made my day (like, someone finds our language cool??). When I learn new languages, I like to watch shows and listen to music in the given language. If you’re bored, I recommend Ne Leiche by SDP and Sido. You will not regret it
@@Spacetribe2000America, the land itself, has existed for as long as Germany. It was just repopulated, after the native population had mostly been extinguished, and some borders were drawn on a map.
Years ago we were in Bremen with my father for some business dealings.. It was 5:30 in the morning and we were struggling to find the place (GPS weren't the thing back then). A guy was walking to work and I asked him about the location. He told us to wait, walked back home and came back with a huge printed Stadtplan. He marked the spot and highlighted the whole route, handed us the map and wished best of luck.. An amazing human being.. God bless you wherever you are..
As an American that's been living in Germany since I was first stationed here back in 1992, I will never go back and live in the US ever again! So glad my children are growing up here, safe, well educated, free Uni, better healthcare, lower crime rate, etc etc etc. Is it perfect in Germany? Nope, and having traveled all over the world, there is no such thing, but its a lot better than in the US. People like this young lady only reenforce my thinking I made the right choice by staying here.
Same here. Born in the US, moved to Germany when I was a year old, tried living in the States twice - nope - not my cup of tea. Love life over here and Europe in general. US is nice for a visit, but permanent? No way.

@@Cobblestoner Where? In Germany? I dont know where you heard that, or where you are getting your news, but I can tell you with 100% certainty that is not true.
Oh man, we speak so many languages in Europe. We all usually speak three languages fluently, which of course is far from enough. If we got upset every time people spoke a different language, we would never stop complaining.
Something similar happened to us on a Northeast Regional from NYC to DC this July. A Karen had an issue with us speaking German. She 'advised' us to shut up. Later on, the conductor also sided with her. He threatened to remove us from the train in Philadelphia. In the end, we chose not to talk until we arrived. On the platform in DC, several people who witnessed the incident approached us. They told us that they were ashamed of the behaviour of their fellow Americans, and some even apologized on their behalf.
In Britain a man was on the same bus as a woman in middle eastern style clothes and her child. The mother was talking to her child in a language that wasn’t English. The man got angry and said to them in English “If you come into our country then you should speak our language”. Another person on the bus said to the man that they’re in Wales and they’re speaking Welsh.
English racists are ridiculous. I was speaking with my aunt (from Trinidad, non-white) in Welsh, in a supermarket, and this English fella had that exact reaction. Literally the same thing. All the Welsh folk in the store just laughed at him. Racists could at least learn that their own island has more than one 'native' language, no matter how hard they tried to wipe out the rest of them.
That's so cool though that she's making sure her kid knows the local language and not just english. Apparently only around a quarter of welsh people still speak it
I had my first Karen encounter a few weeks ago, at first... I was speechless (like you see a celebrity for the first time), after a few minutes I started to be friendly and she was triggerd as hell 😂🤙🏻
Your video lifted my mood today, James. Well done for facing your preconceptions about a foreign country and visiting to find out for yourself. I think with your open character you will fit in anywhere.
a) She's in NYC - what the hell does she expect? b) So tourists are immigrants, now? Bloody hell - didn't realise the US gives residency status out to quickly.

"They have to speak English while in the USA." Too bad the US has no offical language. So I would like to support a petition to make Latin the offical language of the USA.
As a German who visited the US quite often, I am stunned. When I spoke German people would come to me in the most friendly way. They either had a German granny or were stationed in Bavaria or took a trip to Germany and were always happy to chat with me. Exceptions prove the rule. 😎
Same here, never had a bad experience in the US. Only thing that comes to mind was when I got chatted up as a kid on a ski lift and the lady said "I could tell you have a slight accent". She said that in the friendliest demeanor possible though. Then, as part of an excursion from Hong Kong to Shenzen, there was an American group with us on the trip. You could tell instantly because they were BY FAR the noisiest of all of the people there. Y'all talk way to loud. Anyway, when we had group lunch one of the Americans who knew me and my guys were from Germany said "this is better than Bratwurst, isn't it?". I was about to get riled up on European vs. American food culture, e.g. "yeah, but not as good as a deep fried butter stick with a gallon of sugarwater, amirite?" but I was stopped... :)
I lived in B.C. Canada for 25 years...... I never hear a wort agaist Germans ...... the opposite way takes place ..... Lots told me lovely ..."Oh another kraut !" ...... then they explaine me there relative to Germany One third of US have German roots ..... Great friendships
Exception NEVER prove the rule my friend, if anything the majority prove the rule. if one german out of 99 is alcoholic thats a exception. if 99 out of 100 are thats a majority or a rule. logik thinking meine arsh
Exactly. When people find out I am German, they talk about being stationed there, having German ancestors or ask about the Autobahn. The woman is clearly intoxicated.
I am Brazilian and I have already visited the USA and Germany. I loved both countries, and everyone I met there was very kind to me. In Germany, I was amazed when a guy heard me speaking Portuguese and started speaking it with me. His Portuguese was simply incredible.
I am German but grew up in an English speaking country. In my school we had one other German. I was SO happy to be able to speak German every now and then. I could only meet her over recess or lunch…. where we ended up getting expelled from the school canteen! Because lunch lady said THIS IS AN ENGLISH SPEAKING CANTEEEEEN - i thought we evolved since 1995…. I guess not
I have travelled all over the World and never experienced anything with regard to the languages of others. Only English spoken here? Then I suggest they learn it- the USA is the only Country in the World that doesn't understand English. I would bet $M that these two young Germans spoke better English and had a bigger Vocabulary than this Mentally deranged or drugged-up female. The fact that they spoke in German to each other is what Normal people do. Doubtful that she has ever set foot outside her own . Congratulations to her " ex Boy friend" for not giving her a punch on the Nose and kicking her off the train. German immigrants to the US- got to be kidding. Common in the USA to have a melt down because someone is speaking a language they don't understand? They don't get out much do they?- Better to stay Home
I would've broken up with her right then and there if I were him but she'd probably get even MORE agitated wich could lead to chaos. I've spoken both in my native tounge and in english in other countries and they reacted nothing like her. You just get a couple of looks sometimes

This happened to me and my Mom in 1989 in New York. As my Mother only spoke German and Hungarian, but between us we always spoke German. We were in Manhattan I don't even know how many people actually walked up to us and started to poke us on the chest to speak English or get th F out. Nothing new my friend. Bless you.

Poor boyfriend, he got disrespected on so many levels by main character Karen. He went above and beyond to defuse the situation. I hope he's with a better woman now.
Me and my wife are both Swedish but we lived in Switzerland for 25 years. Obviously we spoke Swedish when we were alone or on a train together and German, Swiss German dialect or even French whenever the situation so required. Many Swiss are into languages and curious and often they would discreetly listen to us speak on a train or in a bar or restaurant. We had experienced it many times and after a while the question came: ”Excuse me but I wonder, what language do you speak?” ”Swedish.” ”Ah, I wasn’t sure if it was some Scandinavian language or Dutch.” And so a conversation began, always pleasant and polite. Now, I’m retired and live in Sweden again and everytime I hear Swiss German spoken, I sneak up behind then and say ”Grüezi” (Hello). This is so nice, Swiss people don’t expect anyone to know Swiss German and you always get big smiles back!
Worked for a period in the Swiss German region. One of my best times in my life. Never fullt understood why they had some sort of illusion about Sweden and the Nordic countries 🤭 But it was all good. Still, I miss having a coffee and a waffle tube from Gottlieber at the river.
It's true, I would flip the f out (in a positive, pleasantly surprised way), if I encountered someone speaking Swiss German outside of Switzerland. Meeting other Swiss tourists however...😅 Let's just say we make a vacation away from Switzerland not to meet other Swiss, lol
I‘m from Switzerland. Lot‘s of people like the northern areas because the familiar landscapes, climates. Also Scandinavian countries have a lot of space and great nature. Northern people are polite, correct, respectful and often mostly quiet. Also the history of northern countries is fascinating. If Swiss people hear nordic languages (also Netherlands) we might be familiar because we might have travelled the countries and have good memories. I have never heard of Swiss people complaining about traveling Scandinavia. So there is interest, sympathy for people of these countries. You could lend a Swede your wallet and he would guard it (not that i recommend it). But: We usually don‘t talk to strangers in public transport if we hear that they are from southern countries. Swiss people are well spoken in foreign languages, at least we know usually where people are from. „Southern“ europeans (French, Italian, Portugiese, Spanish, former Yugoslavian countries) are easy to identify. So there is no need to ask. Scandinavian languages are harder to identify. Also we have 4 languages in Switzerland itself (German, French, Italian, Rumantsch). Nothing exiting there. If you are from Arab or South American countries, you wouldn‘t get asked where you are from. People would hear where they are from. Southern people tend to not care, talk louder than the rest of present people and usually are without respect for local habits. Scandinavians have some sort of pride and manners where Swiss feel familiar. Be sure if we don‘t talk, we surely are carefully listening and observing. We tend to put you in a „drawer“ of categories of people without you knowing. With Scandi people that‘s all not necessary. Also in Switzerland we have a lor of immigration since many decades. Workforces from all around europe, we are used to that, there‘s no exitment left. We practically have no people from Scandinavia working here, that‘s why it‘s interesting. If i could emigrate, it would be when i have financial safety. I would go to Sweden, maybe Norway (i feel more familiar with Sweden)buy a house there and go fishing until my days are over. Countryside of course, i would avoid the bigger Cities.
@@rickymartin4457 I know that feeling. Whenever I hear Swedish spoken in a tourist spot, I keep my distance and don’t seek contact. But I listen and observe their behaviour!
@@mlugin8050 One thing that Swiss and Swedish people have in common is that Americans always mix up those countries. The Swedish Tourist Bureau did a survey a few years back and asked visitors why they visited Sweden. It turned out the Germans wanted nature, the French wanted blond girls and the Americans wanted chocolate and e alps… :-)
Probably never going to happen, maybe with the older generations which did not learn english in school. But basically anyone else would easily understand you in someway or another.
That Karen can be grateful that she didn't encounter a German senior citizen. I've seen some old men having neighbor feuds that are borderline micro wars. My grandfather is like that. He managed to return 3 months old spoiled milk to Aldi and get his money back. Never engage in a fight with a Rüstigen Rentner. German pensioners can be scary as heck.
plus they are always readyfor "just in case". My grandma always has enough food in her house to feed 10 people for at least 3 weeks. She also keeps pen and paper and a camera ready in case anyone ust needs it.
Brianna Pinnix, a talent acquisition specialist at Capital Rx, approached the tourists and told them to "get the f-k out of our country."

Can the French and Spanish also help the Apaches again to become independent from the Americans? We already have experience in that. And by the way, return the lands that belong to Mexico and finally give an opportunity to Russia for buy back Alaska 🤣🤣 And of course, Texas independent again 😁 Ah! I forgot, Hawaii for Japan 🤣🤣
@@turytaicho If that can help Americans stop harping on and on about WW2 like we didn't help their ass gain independence from the brits* and their convenient amnesia first we've got a deal. _*(minor event that allowed the USA to be created)_
To be honest that happens with a lot of German as well (especially when they are drinikig; louder than anyone else). I'm from Pilsen I should know. I don't like that behavior or theirs. Nevertheless, once they are not in tourist mode, they are very nice people to talk to.
when I was Seoul, Korea, everybody was quiet in the subway, that's the norm. Except for the ultra chatty American young adults, they were so performative, you could cut the disapproval by the Koreans in the air with a knife and they didn't even notice.
Often from Texas. As a New Yorker myself, when I was in Norway and when I was flying to Greece, some loud Americans (which were an embarrassment for the rest of us) I found out were from Texas.
I visited the US twice and encountered similar situations in the 90s. I even had trouble with racists cops. Those Mutter Futter detained me for 14 hours because they thought I had a fake German passport. I am mixed, Eurasian. I have never visited the US again since then. There are many other countries and great places to visit, where people are friendly and appreciate tourists.
I am sorry your experience with America was so poor. Please don't blame our country, as we are not all like this. Just blame those specific individuals for ruining what should have been a great experience. I hope your future travels to anywhere in the world are wonderful and fulfilling.
@@Breathe-In-and-Out I don't blame Americans. I have some friends from America. Most people were nice and kind for the duration of my stay. Still, I would not choose to visit the US again, not in my near future. And I am going to tell you why. I will be straightforward. In the 90s, there was no internet, and Americans did not have great views and understanding of other countries across the oceans. People around the globe were looking up America in the 80s and before. So, I can understand their pride during those glorious time. But along with that pride came blindness, as they were told by their government, news, and Hollywood how great their country was. Yes, you should be proud, but it also requires balance. Pride is good, blind pride isn't. Blind pride does not produce improvements to cope with future changes. Having said that, I would not say Americans before the internet treated tourists poorly, but also not giving international tourists the vibe of welcoming tourism, not unwelcoming either. When I travel around the world, people do give me directly or indirectly that I am welcomed and that they appreciate tourists showing interest for their countries and culture, I miss that in the USA. It's not that i need sugarcoating, I do behave and respect their traditions, local way of life, and their social etiquette. In the US, we encountered Americans asking us, even we are just visiting "You are going to immigrate here?". Now, finally, thanks to the internet, more and more Americans are able to get information about life outside the USA. They are coming out of the bubbles. Don't misunderstand me. I do hope America will learn from others, and of course, also learning from each other. It might take 2 more generations for a better change. I would like to visit Alaska, Texas, Mississippi, Colorado, Oregon, and New Mexico. But I know it won't happen, cause I am getting too old to travel.
Telling someone, especially immigrants, to get out of the country if they don't speak the local language could already get you sued for a hate crime in germany. For obvious reason, discrimination and racism are pretty thin ice here.

Just been in a touristy Area in Bremen, Germany two days ago. I'd say about half the conversations I heard were German. The rest were Spanish, Turkish, English, Russian, Dutch, Polish and some languages I could not identify. Poor Karen would probably break her neck trying to turn her head towards all the evil people around her "talking about her"...
Yeah whenever I get out of my racist shitty little East German town I hear so many different languages and never thought of paying them any mind after checking shortly if I'm talked to(as in looking over for a sec and checking if anyone looks at me waiting for an answer) lol How can they be so damn fargile and lose their shit so damn fast?

Reminds me of a story, A lady got upset that a group of people weren't speaking English on a bus in the UK. She got very mad about it until one of those not speaking English pointed out that were speaking Welsh and they had crossed the border into Wales.
Been all over Murica and have spoken Swedish and Russian with my wife and unfortunately haven't been subjected to nutheads. But back in 2006, we had a rest at a gas station in Arkansas and the guy behind the counter heard we were from out-of-town and asked us about it. When we said we were from Sweden, he pointed to a TV in the shop that was airing George W Bush and said "Tell them back home that we are not all like him ..."
That's what i was thinking. She thought they were talking about her before. But I guarantee after the whole debacle they will definitely talk about her now 😂
Last year I visited the US and had only good experiences. In Washington DC, an older gentleman even came up to us because he heard us speak German. He wanted to practice his German skills, because he was stationed in Germany long ago. Very very sweet.❤
I experienced something very similar in Los Angeles. An older man approached me and started talking about his time in Germany after WW2. We talked for quite a while.
in discord a girl once told me thet english is the defult languege... after thet i made allways fun about her only speaking defult but every one els here in the call lerned to speak one more 😂 she never said it again 🤷
I would like to tell a totally different story. I’m german. I worked in the US several times before and made friends. We agreed to visit each other, so i took a plane from germany to US. My plane was late. Nobody picked me up at the airport. I rented a car, searched my way 100 miles throu a foreign country and endet up, at 3 o‘clock in the morning, in a rural area in front of three houses. I decided to wait in a distance till dawn before ringing any of those doorbells. (Trespassing and gunlaw…) I woke up with a real bright light into my face. A police officer! He asked some questions, checked my passport and driving license, searched his computer and finally brought my to the right house. This was the kind of hospitality and service i didn‘t expected. So, many thanks to you Mr. Officer!
I'd like to be you. I mean, that's pretty gutsy. Renting a car, driving 100 miles and arriving at your destination at 3 a.m., having the presence of mind to not ring the doorbell, being cognizant of where you are and the reaction of people who tend to shoot first and ask questions later. Glad things turned out well for you!
I am Polish and the history of Polish-German relations is not a nicer one. But if I met a German tourist speaking German in my city, I would never have thought of behaving like her. To me, this whole situation is completely absurd. I would even be happy that they want to get to know Poland. Btw, James. You're welcome to visit our country too :) We have great food!
Yes, my one great grandfather was shot by a German, the other was put in a Concentration camp but today hearing German tourists in my city makes me happy that they come here as neigbours and are interested in our culture and pay us money to have their vacations. Yet this American woman cant't forgive them speaking their own language 🤡 She must be insane
I am 48 years old, from Germany, and my last visit to the USA must have been about 35 years ago; we were in both Texas and Virginia and there were never any problems when we spoke German in public; on the contrary, I remember a lot of people (including soldiers who were once stationed in Germany), who were happy to be able to speak German with someone again. There were also quite a few people who themselves had German ancestors and wanted to use the opportunity to talk in that language. Perhaps this was also because such Karens were simply shot in Texas at that time.
America though is falling apart, they hate everyone whether trump supporters, cis men , whites, mexicans, christians, muslims, jews, and now top of the list - russians. Palestinians and chineese next on the list to be hated.
With this scene you can learn a very special German word: "fremdschämen". I and obviously many passengers on this train are ashamed just watching this woman's behavior. Enjoy your stay in Hamburg and use the opportunity being there to visit the Miniatur Wunderland. It is absolutely amazing.Greetings from Bavaria.
I tried to get tickets for the Miniatur Wunderland a couple of times, months in advance of my trips to Hamburg and it's always sold out! Of course it's always on weekends because I can't just take my 5th grader out of school for a trip during the week. It's insane. I'm not waiting in line for 240 mins as they predict on the website. How long in advance do I have to book??? I'm desperate at this point 😢😂
Why shouldn't they speak German? Im Australian, currently visiting Germany. I always begin my conversation/question with. "I apologize, i dont speak German". I found all young adults, speak English, and they are extremely helpful. Im a 70 yo woman who uses a walker and there is ALWAYS someone who will offer to help me on/off trains. And quite a few speak at least three languages. I was in a shop yesterday and i asked a worker there for assistance. He was Asian, spoke perfect German and his English was excellent. Im assuming that being Asian, he speaks his parents language as well. Ive been married to a German for 40 years and neither he or i can speak a word of German. (He was forbidden to speak German after they learnt English over 60yrs ago) l would love to be able to speak another language.
I just want to add to what @xXFlorian1997Xx said, dont be discouraged by german being a "hard language" to learn. Its challenging at the start and then gets easier and easier since you know all the rules. German doesnt have many exceptions (like english does, like why tf is Worcester pronounced Wooster?), so as soon as you know the basics, getting better is really easy. English is the other way around funnily, its very easy to get started but very hard to be truly excellent at it. Source: i am designing the german language courses at a german university
I'm German and stumbled across your video completely by chance, very interesting and of course frightening. In Germany anyone who behaves towards strangers like this obviously drunk young lady would be called a neo-Nazi. Extremely embarrassing, but as the saying goes: children and drunks always tell the truth (about themselves).
All the many times I've been to Germany, or met Germans abroad, I've only encountered kind, decent people. I know every society has dumb 4sses, but as from Germany I've never met them. Cheers from Copenhagen.
As a American, who has German heritage, I apolgies for these rascist American idoits. The consevative parties in America are very rascist towards tourists&immagrents, and hispanic people are constsntly targeted.
Happened to me in 2003. We traveled through the USA for 3 months with 3 colleagues. We were speaking Swiss German together when we were in a supermarket and a gentleman came and told us to stop talking terroristically or we would be arrested. Our answer was that if the USA doesn't want money from tourists, we would be happy to spend it in Canada. And fortunately the not so nice man went on his way.
@@keeper6458 Luckily we had more to do with nicer people. In New Bern North Carolina we met the nicest police officer. We were invited to dinner and had such a lovely time
Bet the "gentleman" didn´t give a fuck... He had no advantage, whether you spent the money in Canada or bought 2 "I love New York" Shirts in the United States.

@@wandavision8567I agree but not "just". If a person reacts this way being drunk or otherwise intoxicated, it shows something that goes beyond. She can be drunk and have a mental disorder as well.
As a child, I grew up listening to my mother and her sisters speaking German to their mother. When Grandma passed away they never really spoke it again. I don't understand the language but nothing would give me more comfort than sitting and hearing those people speaking together. Memories.
What language does she speak when she leaves the States? Does she learn all other foreign languages to speak them when she's there! OMG... I can only imagine how badly she treats Blacks, Asiens, etc......
When shes in other country that whole country has to speak english, so she dosnt get dissapointed... Ive been told to stop speaking spanish... IN SPAIN
I will always be proud to know more than one language. In a perfect world, everyone would be at least bi-lingual, it expands your mental capacity by a surprising amount to be able to think abstractly in different languages. I flunked out of school, but the one subject I still aced 100% was English, and I am truly grateful that I did, because it has vastly improved my potential in life.
I only started learning english by playing videogames with english being the only language option there was available at the time. School didn't help at all lmao. But when i finished the first bigger game in around a week during holidays, english turned from one of the worst subjects into my best. Thank you Persona 5
@@TY-Tianyou Is it really? That wasn't the case for like 95% of people at my school. Either they learned it by studying, few through stuff like Instagram, RUclips etc or just didn't give a shit and tried what they could to pass the subject. Only person that was better than anyone was a girl who went to school in Scotland for 2 years. And parents speaking english in my class did not exist at all
I am also German and the same thing sometimes happens here in Brazil. My standard answer is: “What language would you use in Germany?” Works perfectly, especially in countries where people don't learn other languages.
Brazilians are extremely prejudiced, stuck in their ways, and there is an overall culture of hostility against everything even slightly different from their small little world, and challenging it can become dangerous. Get out of there as soon as you can
This woman would go nuts in Germany. I drive by bus every morning and afternoon and listen to various conversations in multiple languages, its interesting and I see how happy they are to find other people to talk with, while also learning German. Adults different ages looking at each others homeworks try to learn the language or just engage in a friendly chat. Even if I cant understand them, sometimes it doesnt need words to understand someone :) Edit: Omg how perfectly you said Hamburg!
She'd experience the same in Florida. While shopping I've heard so many languages spoken such as Haitian Creole, Vietnamese, Russian, Ukrainian, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Croatian, and Slovakian, to name a few
Had a very similar experience in Florida a few years ago, again a women had a go at me and my friend for speaking in her words a foreign language. We are both born and breed In LONDON, The capital of England. She took our Cockney accent ( London accent ) to be another language. Why she had a problem with this I can not tell you, but when I explained to her that I come from the country that " invented " English she didn't believe me. I think some American's need to get out more.
@@neokerman659 Actually it probably wasn't. English is a germanic languague and was imported from continental europe, most likely from Germany and Denmark. So of course the way it developed is as english as it gets but the root isn't. It's kind of interesting how the languages evolved differently.
I remember decades ago an uncle was having a house built out in the country about 35 miles east of Atlanta, Georgia USA. I was with him while he talked to the people hired for the job. One gentleman in particular said an entire paragraph without me understanding a word he said. Some southern accents can be really strong.
Yeah. Try different languages. Mess with her head a bit, by being multilingual. See if she can guess what language you're speaking. A little mind game with the Karen. 😏
Germany actually send more colonists to America than all other countries combined. There was a time when over 50% of the people in the US were German. When the Independence was declared, they even held a vote on whether they should keep English as the official language or switch to German (English passed by a single vote)
@@MinitendoFS every group of people built America. What kind of stupid crap is that? Hell, you can even say that Africans helped build the southern states the most. What is your point?
in the 90s my parents had a trip to NYC with some friends. They went to a restaurant and they told them to leave because "they dont serve nazis". This happened 2 times to them in 7 days. My parents were 20 years at this time and had nothing to do with what happened in the 40s. America has to learn alot.
This says a lot about the education in US. I was on a student exchange in the USA in the mid-90s and they literally asked us if H**ler was still alive.
@@Achie79was in the us in 2019, wasnt much different for me as well. Surprisingly a lot of older guys were up to date on germany but some people my age actually asked me what it was like to live under hitler. Its wild to me that people still believe todays germans have anything to do with hitler, thats like calling the entire south of the us traitors and racists. And even that has more foundation than calling germans today nazis considering its not too unusual to see confederate flags in the south. You'll barely see german flags in germany, let alone any flags that indicate support for hitler or the nazis. That goes for many countries too, not just america. The poles and russians seem to have issues thinking about what "80 years" means
I once was on a French train with my two best friends and we were going hiking in the Pyrennees. The train was full of old religious US-Americans going to Lourdes, because apparently you can drink holy water and pray for a miracle there. We had a hiking guide (a book) with us, and I asked my friend: "Gibst du mir mal den Wanderführer?" The next minute hell broke loose and lots of overweight old Americans accused us of talking about the "Fuhrer". It took me a moment to connect the dots and I explained to them that I asked for our walking guide. And that "guide" translates to "Führer". The response cracked me up even more, because a woman patted me on the arm and kept repeating: "It's okay. He's dead. He's dead! You understand?" It was one of the funniest things I experienced with Americans. In the end we gave up explaining and let everyone assume we were big bad Nazis. We really couldn't get the message through to them that we were going hiking and the book was our guide.
The fact she is insisting on them speaking English, considering that there's no official federal language in the USA makes this all the more baffelling.
Oh, I had a similar experience back in London back in the day. During my time at an international school in Germany I had learned to speak English, but my good friend from Manchester had grown up in Germany from pre-Kindergarten age, so his spoken German was flawless; way better than my spoken English. When during his high school he moved back to Manchester with his family we still kept in contact. When I took a trip to Manchester, we also decided to go to London together to visit his grandma there. She lived in the outskirts of London so we regularly took the Tube into London. As my friend had noticed his German deteriorating due to not being used regularly he asked me to speak German with him as much as possible, which I obviously obliged him. So we sat in the Tube, gabbing away in German, to give him some practice. During one of these trips an old lady, very noticably British, not so subtly, and very clearly said: "Look at those damn Nazis!" Both my buddy and I understood her very clearly but didn't react to her insult (which obviously wasn't true in ANY sense of the word). Instead, we switched to English mid sentence with just a confirming nod and began talking about how friendly the British people were, how incredibly welcoming, and how we had finally advanced beyond old hatred... again, in the best Cockney accent we both could manage. We weren't talking TO her, or even ABOUT her, but we could see both her face turn noticably red, as well as the very subtle, almost completely suppressed snickers of the other people on board the Tube train, as they understood EXACTLY what we were doing. Without resorting to insults or being antagonizing to her. We were laughing about it the whole day.
Ich finde die kruden Auffassungen der Briten mehr als befremdlich. Dieses Selbstbild. Ein Staat, der 91% der Erdoberfläche überfallen, den halben Erdball gewaltsam unterdrückt und destabilisiert und die Bevölkerungen ganzer Kontinente ausgerottet hat, beschwert sich darüber, dass sich die Deutschen ein kleines Stück Osteuropa krallen wollten und dann gibt es Briten, die Deutsche heute noch als "Nazis" bezeichnen. Vielleicht sollte man Briten als Genozid-Imperialisten bezeichnen, damit sie anfangen, endlich ihre eigene Geschichte aufzuarbeiten.
Great friendship, love your experience and humor! My cousin and I, both Germans, went on a student exchange to Brighton in the 80ies. On our first day there, another German student got stabbed in a disco. He died on the street because of the high blood loss. The murderer stabbed him with the words "I hate Germans!" I remember two random people who apologized for the murder when they heard us speak in German. It still makes me sad if I think about it.
There are still quite some elderly people in UK who have suffered during WWII and were not able to overcome their hatred of everything and everyone German. But their numbers are dwindling down fast now.
I refuse to believe that a person behaves like this without having some real mental problems. Most Karens seem to go through a serious paranoid episode or something.
One possible reason to explain this could have been the "german stare". Maybe one of them just looked at her while they were talking, without thinking about it. That's why she thought, they are making fun of her. At least that's what I want to believe. I don't want to believe a person would just go batshit crazy like this.
@@Gokudo87 Its probalby both. There could habe been a nonverbal "trigger" in some kind and she reacted to it because sche isnt psychological allright. Because even if there has been a trigger, it still really isnt a decent reaction to behave this way.
I don’t know about this one, but some “Karen“ videos are indeed just very mentally unwell women being filmed while having a breakdown in public which is very sad and shameful tbh. Of course there are still actual Karens and I’m not excusing racist or harassing behaviour in any case.
Stop using mental health as a crutch. Just enables more people to act worse because they can use the crutch of mental health opposed to self control. We have all had fucked up lives, doesn't give you the right to treat those around you like shit.
As a Turk, most of Germans are just Amazing and very kind person. I ve been couples times Germany, I have German friends but all of them truly honest and and frindly person I LOVE THEM!

I went to Germany and all I experienced was other Europeans telling me to be careful of Germans and Germans being nothing but amazing. In fact my first experience out of the airport in Leipzig was when I struggled at the ticket machine for a train ticket when 1 woman comes with her 2 children and put the effort to try and understand my Indian English accent and help me with the ticket to Leipzig station. Permanent love for Germany.
You do need to be careful of germans. Some of us wear socks and sandals.
That's just not right...
Older people of the former GDR are generally used to foreigners from the Asian and African continent. Those were the days that students and professionals from Vietnam, Angola and Mozambique came to the GDR to live there for some time.
It is a persistent cliché to presume that Germans, "especially" in the former GDR, would be extraordinarily susceptible to xenophobia. There are exceptions, certainly, but the general populace is simply hospitable and kind.
Just curious what europeans told you to be careful of germans? I have never heard of this.
Leipzig especially is such a nice city with really pleasant and chill people. Used to live there for a few years before moving back to West Germany.
Unfortunately rent has increased a lot there, since they build the LEJ airport logistical facilities and the BMW plant.
Both of them brought tons of jobs and people into the city, so it's still catching up with housing at the moment.
City seems to care a lot about it's people.
To be fair, what many people aren’t aware of is how mosaic Germany is. I would argue if you saw Leipzig you saw a very beautiful almost idealistic side of Germany.
As someone who is very white but of slavic heritage, the racism was almost unbearable as a child. There are extremely cruel and rude sides to Germany, something you won’t see or experience unless you are forced to mingle because of immigration status or education.
Tourists are not seen as a permanent issue they have to put up with and almost have a positive entertainment aspect to it. Once you are trying to integrate though, you realize how harsh their world is. Consider it love bombing. My darker friends all have been bullied viciously by police and government, my father has been treated like a disease because of his strong accent. I myself am only considered German now, because I forced myself to unlearn my accent and was the oldest who had to help my father after he divorced my mother.
There is something worryingly apathetic about Germans. They can watch you burn and feel nothing.

I find it ironic that Karens from America mostly get angry about immigrants, from a country that was originally built out of immigrants
Wonder how many Karen's have had the same reaction to the Native American Indians, whose land her ancestors stole, killing 1000s of them to do it. She is probably from German heritage. The Native American Indians favourite saying is when the ppl came from Europe they did not send the best of their ppl
Not only that but a huge portion of white Americans are of German heritage.
And they berate immigrants in places like New York that are supposed to be so cosmopolitan and educated.
Fun fact: Germans are the largest group of immigrants in America
Maybe the same "Karen" would introduce herself as "being German" (because her Great-grandparents came from Germany a century ago)

Being Dutch and often in Germany I have never experienced that a German person was impolite or unfriendly to us just because we are are talking Dutch in public to eachother. German people are in general very polite. A few years ago I saw 5 teenage boys standing under a tiny roof with their bikes.It was heavy raining with thunder. As a mother I felt sorry for them. It turned out they were German boys on cycling holiday. I invited them inside, they felt cold so I gave them hot tea with cookies and towels and offered them to put dry clothes on in the bathroom. They were very appreciating and very well behaving and neat teenagers. One boy asked if he could make a picture of us to send to his parents. His mother replied to him and I got the message that she was very thankful to me and by saying goodbye he told me that he will never forget me . ❤ It hurts me to see these youngsters are treated so bad by this American woman and I am happy to read that all the other Americans are also very angry about her behave. Being kind, helpful and caring, special to people in a strange country doesn't hurt you!

As a German Turk who grew up in Germany, I have to say that you get different feedback from Germans among foreigners. It depends on which country you come from and therefore which language you speak. Assimilated foreigners had fewer problems than people who wasn‘t and Looks different and speak a completely different language. I didn't and still don't have blonde hair and I don't have blue eyes either. Bullying because of my appearance was part of everyday life for me at elementary school.
As someone who wants to learn German because I think their language is really cool, their people are awesome and the food looks great, this woman is going to haunt my dreams.
Hey a german here,
i wish you the the best. I give you some tipps to learn it more smoothly:
Watching shows in german with english subs. Helps to get familiar with the flow of the language.
Dont be discouraged by the grammar. Even we hate our grammar lessons.
Listen and or sing to german songs. We have great artists such as
Die Ärzte
Alligatoah
Adel Tavil
And some motivation:
My english teacher came from texas and spoke not totally perfect german but was a very sweet man. I understood what he said and found him taking on our language and country a very brave and respectful choice. Our language can be confusing but we respect anyone trying to learn it.

As a German who visited the US quite often, I am stunned. When I spoke German people would come to me in the most friendly way. They either had a German granny or were stationed in Bavaria or took a trip to Germany and were always happy to chat with me. Exceptions prove the rule. 😎
Same here, never had a bad experience in the US. Only thing that comes to mind was when I got chatted up as a kid on a ski lift and the lady said "I could tell you have a slight accent". She said that in the friendliest demeanor possible though.
Then, as part of an excursion from Hong Kong to Shenzen, there was an American group with us on the trip. You could tell instantly because they were BY FAR the noisiest of all of the people there. Y'all talk way to loud. Anyway, when we had group lunch one of the Americans who knew me and my guys were from Germany said "this is better than Bratwurst, isn't it?". I was about to get riled up on European vs. American food culture, e.g. "yeah, but not as good as a deep fried butter stick with a gallon of sugarwater, amirite?" but I was stopped... :)

Poor boyfriend, he got disrespected on so many levels by main character Karen.
He went above and beyond to defuse the situation. I hope he's with a better woman now.
Me and my wife are both Swedish but we lived in Switzerland for 25 years. Obviously we spoke Swedish when we were alone or on a train together and German, Swiss German dialect or even French whenever the situation so required. Many Swiss are into languages and curious and often they would discreetly listen to us speak on a train or in a bar or restaurant. We had experienced it many times and after a while the question came: ”Excuse me but I wonder, what language do you speak?” ”Swedish.” ”Ah, I wasn’t sure if it was some Scandinavian language or Dutch.” And so a conversation began, always pleasant and polite. Now, I’m retired and live in Sweden again and everytime I hear Swiss German spoken, I sneak up behind then and say ”Grüezi” (Hello). This is so nice, Swiss people don’t expect anyone to know Swiss German and you always get big smiles back!
Worked for a period in the Swiss German region. One of my best times in my life. Never fullt understood why they had some sort of illusion about Sweden and the Nordic countries 🤭 But it was all good. Still, I miss having a coffee and a waffle tube from Gottlieber at the river.
It's true, I would flip the f out (in a positive, pleasantly surprised way), if I encountered someone speaking Swiss German outside of Switzerland.
Meeting other Swiss tourists however...😅
Let's just say we make a vacation away from Switzerland not to meet other Swiss, lol
I‘m from Switzerland. Lot‘s of people like the northern areas because the familiar landscapes, climates. Also Scandinavian countries have a lot of space and great nature. Northern people are polite, correct, respectful and often mostly quiet. Also the history of northern countries is fascinating. If Swiss people hear nordic languages (also Netherlands) we might be familiar because we might have travelled the countries and have good memories. I have never heard of Swiss people complaining about traveling Scandinavia. So there is interest, sympathy for people of these countries. You could lend a Swede your wallet and he would guard it (not that i recommend it).
But:
We usually don‘t talk to strangers in public transport if we hear that they are from southern countries. Swiss people are well spoken in foreign languages, at least we know usually where people are from. „Southern“ europeans (French, Italian, Portugiese, Spanish, former Yugoslavian countries) are easy to identify. So there is no need to ask. Scandinavian languages are harder to identify.
Also we have 4 languages in Switzerland itself (German, French, Italian, Rumantsch). Nothing exiting there.
If you are from Arab or South American countries, you wouldn‘t get asked where you are from. People would hear where they are from. Southern people tend to not care, talk louder than the rest of present people and usually are without respect for local habits.
Scandinavians have some sort of pride and manners where Swiss feel familiar. Be sure if we don‘t talk, we surely are carefully listening and observing. We tend to put you in a „drawer“ of categories of people without you knowing. With Scandi people that‘s all not necessary.
Also in Switzerland we have a lor of immigration since many decades. Workforces from all around europe, we are used to that, there‘s no exitment left. We practically have no people from Scandinavia working here, that‘s why it‘s interesting.
If i could emigrate, it would be when i have financial safety. I would go to Sweden, maybe Norway (i feel more familiar with Sweden)buy a house there and go fishing until my days are over. Countryside of course, i would avoid the bigger Cities.
@@rickymartin4457 I know that feeling. Whenever I hear Swedish spoken in a tourist spot, I keep my distance and don’t seek contact. But I listen and observe their behaviour!
@@mlugin8050 One thing that Swiss and Swedish people have in common is that Americans always mix up those countries.

@@Breathe-In-and-Out I don't blame Americans. I have some friends from America. Most people were nice and kind for the duration of my stay. Still, I would not choose to visit the US again, not in my near future. And I am going to tell you why. I will be straightforward.
In the 90s, there was no internet, and Americans did not have great views and understanding of other countries across the oceans. People around the globe were looking up America in the 80s and before. So, I can understand their pride during those glorious time. But along with that pride came blindness, as they were told by their government, news, and Hollywood how great their country was.
Yes, you should be proud, but it also requires balance. Pride is good, blind pride isn't. Blind pride does not produce improvements to cope with future changes.
Having said that, I would not say Americans before the internet treated tourists poorly, but also not giving international tourists the vibe of welcoming tourism, not unwelcoming either.
When I travel around the world, people do give me directly or indirectly that I am welcomed and that they appreciate tourists showing interest for their countries and culture, I miss that in the USA. It's not that i need sugarcoating, I do behave and respect their traditions, local way of life, and their social etiquette. In the US, we encountered Americans asking us, even we are just visiting "You are going to immigrate here?".
Now, finally, thanks to the internet, more and more Americans are able to get information about life outside the USA. They are coming out of the bubbles. Don't misunderstand me. I do hope America will learn from others, and of course, also learning from each other.
It might take 2 more generations for a better change. I would like to visit Alaska, Texas, Mississippi, Colorado, Oregon, and New Mexico. But I know it won't happen, cause I am getting too old to travel.

we were in both Texas and Virginia and there were never any problems when we spoke German in public;

who were happy to be able to speak German with someone again. There were also quite a few people who themselves had German
ancestors and wanted to use the opportunity to talk in that language.

Of course it's always on weekends because I can't just take my 5th grader out of school for a trip during the week. It's insane. I'm not waiting in line for 240 mins as they predict on the website. How long in advance do I have to book??? I'm desperate at this point 😢😂
Why shouldn't they speak German? Im Australian, currently visiting Germany. I always begin my conversation/question with. "I apologize, i dont speak German". I found all young adults, speak English, and they are extremely helpful. Im a 70 yo woman who uses a walker and there is ALWAYS someone who will offer to help me on/off trains. And quite a few speak at least three languages. I was in a shop yesterday and i asked a worker there for assistance. He was Asian, spoke perfect German and his English was excellent. Im assuming that being Asian, he speaks his parents language as well. Ive been married to a German for 40 years and neither he or i can speak a word of German. (He was forbidden to speak German after they learnt English over 60yrs ago) l would love to be able to speak another language.
Hey Vicki, its never to late to learn a new language! Just start practice, you got this :)
You are welcome to stay as long as you want !
I just want to add to what @xXFlorian1997Xx said, dont be discouraged by german being a "hard language" to learn. Its challenging at the start and then gets easier and easier since you know all the rules. German doesnt have many exceptions (like english does, like why tf is Worcester pronounced Wooster?), so as soon as you know the basics, getting better is really easy. English is the other way around funnily, its very easy to get started but very hard to be truly excellent at it.

Guessing boyfriend is a simp. A real man would not put up with this nonsense.
I have a feeling the makeup sex is pretty wicked with this lynx 🤔 😂
he's part of the problem. look at him smugly holding her back instead of taking her far away from the tourists.
I think you have never handled stubborn kids
Go back to Germany
I'm German and stumbled across your video completely by chance, very interesting and of course frightening. In Germany anyone who behaves towards strangers like this obviously drunk young lady would be called a neo-Nazi. Extremely embarrassing, but as the saying goes: children and drunks always tell the truth (about themselves).
All the many times I've been to Germany, or met Germans abroad, I've only encountered kind, decent people. I know every society has dumb 4sses, but as from Germany I've never met them. Cheers from Copenhagen.

There is nothing more the boyfriend could have done. THE chick is obviously insane.
@@georgedorschner5552 I hope the airline isn't insane and give her a fine so she can feel it for this stunt.
As a American, who has German heritage, I apolgies for these rascist American idoits. The consevative parties in America are very rascist towards tourists&immagrents, and hispanic people are constsntly targeted.
Happened to me in 2003. We traveled through the USA for 3 months with 3 colleagues. We were speaking Swiss German together when we were in a supermarket and a gentleman came and told us to stop talking terroristically or we would be arrested. Our answer was that if the USA doesn't want money from tourists, we would be happy to spend it in Canada. And fortunately the not so nice man went on his way.
I'm so sorry that happened to you guys. So embarrassing.. I would have loved to taken you all in and cooked for you! Had great conversations!
@@keeper6458 Luckily we had more to do with nicer people. In New Bern North Carolina we met the nicest police officer. We were invited to dinner and had such a lovely time
Bet the "gentleman" didn´t give a fuck... He had no advantage, whether you spent the money in Canada or bought 2 "I love New York" Shirts in the United States.

@@alexri.804 It still made him look rather stupid and he didn't really know what to say afterwards lol
Run, boyfriend, run!!!!
This is not just antisocial, but a mental breakdown. She desperately needs professional help, and those around her need to be protected from her.
Agree, her behaviour stems from fear and she is out of control. Not normal nor rational behaviour.
I think she is just totally intoxicated ;-)
Someone has been lieing to her way too much for way too long! She has inflated the cost of her man cave to the point where she is pricing herself out of any relationships.
@@wandavision8567Yes a drunk, but that is no excuse.
@@wandavision8567I agree but not "just". If a person reacts this way being drunk or otherwise intoxicated, it shows something that goes beyond. She can be drunk and have a mental disorder as well.
As a child, I grew up listening to my mother and her sisters speaking German to their mother. When Grandma passed away they never really spoke it again. I don't understand the language but nothing would give me more comfort than sitting and hearing those people speaking together. Memories.
Aww that's kinda cute. Someone had an experince with my language that's good. =) You don't hear those stories often, because history T-T 😂 😂 😉 😉.
thats so cute ; - ;
Awww....💔I know how you feel. I am German but I only hear English...married in Canada.

What language does she speak when she leaves the States? Does she learn all other foreign languages to speak them when she's there!
OMG... I can only imagine how badly she treats Blacks, Asiens, etc......
I bet 5€ she has never been outside the US, with maybe an exception being cancoon
She's the sort who very likely has never been anywhere else. Other countries would be full of foreigners speaking another language 😂
She probably doesn't have a passport
Spare the rest of the world from people like her

Ive been told to stop speaking spanish... IN SPAIN

I will always be proud to know more than one language. In a perfect world, everyone would be at least bi-lingual, it expands your mental capacity by a surprising amount to be able to think abstractly in different languages. I flunked out of school, but the one subject I still aced 100% was English, and I am truly grateful that I did, because it has vastly improved my potential in life.
Most people are bilingual by default. Trilingual, actually, considering we're using English here.
I only started learning english by playing videogames with english being the only language option there was available at the time. School didn't help at all lmao. But when i finished the first bigger game in around a week during holidays, english turned from one of the worst subjects into my best.
Thank you Persona 5
@@blackdust7353 that's how it was for most of us. I'm lucky to have parents who speak English.
@@TY-Tianyou Is it really? That wasn't the case for like 95% of people at my school. Either they learned it by studying, few through stuff like Instagram, RUclips etc or just didn't give a shit and tried what they could to pass the subject. Only person that was better than anyone was a girl who went to school in Scotland for 2 years.
And parents speaking english in my class did not exist at all

I am also German and the same thing sometimes happens here in Brazil. My standard answer is: “What language would you use in Germany?” Works perfectly, especially in countries where people don't learn other languages.
To even top it I would say: "Perdon. No hablo espanol. Comprende amigo?" 🤭
Brazilians are extremely prejudiced, stuck in their ways, and there is an overall culture of hostility against everything even slightly different from their small little world, and challenging it can become dangerous. Get out of there as soon as you can
Good answer.
They speak Portuguese in Brazil. @@ViruX93
@@ViruX93...but in Brazil people speak portugues, so I don't get your joke...
I'd probably just throw in random german words to make my friends laugh.
"Schmetterling! Bratwurstbrötchen! Straßenverkehrsordnung!"

"What a komische Lady."
This was both sad and hilarious at the same time.
This woman would go nuts in Germany. I drive by bus every morning and afternoon and listen to various conversations in multiple languages, its interesting and I see how happy they are to find other people to talk with, while also learning German. Adults different ages looking at each others homeworks try to learn the language or just engage in a friendly chat. Even if I cant understand them, sometimes it doesnt need words to understand someone :)
Edit: Omg how perfectly you said Hamburg!
She'd experience the same in Florida. While shopping I've heard so many languages spoken such as Haitian Creole, Vietnamese, Russian, Ukrainian, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Croatian, and Slovakian, to name a few
Well we know for certain that Westerwelle doesn't take the bus.
Had a very similar experience in Florida a few years ago, again a women had a go at me and my friend for speaking in her words a foreign language. We are both born and breed In LONDON, The capital of England. She took our Cockney accent ( London accent ) to be another language. Why she had a problem with this I can not tell you, but when I explained to her that I come from the country that " invented " English she didn't believe me. I think some American's need to get out more.
I wonder how this Lady would react to a brummie 😁
@@karstenbursak8083now that is a foreign language 😂
You say English was invented in England??? Shocking!!! 🙂
@@neokerman659 Actually it probably wasn't. English is a germanic languague and was imported from continental europe, most likely from Germany and Denmark. So of course the way it developed is as english as it gets but the root isn't. It's kind of interesting how the languages evolved differently.
I remember decades ago an uncle was having a house built out in the country about 35 miles east of Atlanta, Georgia USA. I was with him while he talked to the people hired for the job. One gentleman in particular said an entire paragraph without me understanding a word he said. Some southern accents can be really strong.
As a Brazilian, I would keep laughing and talking even more in Portuguese 😂😂😂😂

Yeah. Try different languages. Mess with her head a bit, by being multilingual. See if she can guess what language you're speaking. A little mind game with the Karen. 😏
Me too kkkkkkk
Funny note, the USA doesn't have an official language
Germans helped so much in building up the US American Nation, to disrespect them and their language so much is just a crime.
Yip, and established the immigration rules😅
Germany actually send more colonists to America than all other countries combined. There was a time when over 50% of the people in the US were German. When the Independence was declared, they even held a vote on whether they should keep English as the official language or switch to German (English passed by a single vote)
@@MinitendoFS every group of people built America. What kind of stupid crap is that? Hell, you can even say that Africans helped build the southern states the most. What is your point?

in the 90s my parents had a trip to NYC with some friends. They went to a restaurant and they told them to leave because "they dont serve nazis". This happened 2 times to them in 7 days. My parents were 20 years at this time and had nothing to do with what happened in the 40s. America has to learn alot.
This says a lot about the education in US. I was on a student exchange in the USA in the mid-90s and they literally asked us if H**ler was still alive.
@@Achie79they still ask this today sadly, even if this is not humanly possible (Hitler would be over 130 years old by now).
@@Achie79was in the us in 2019, wasnt much different for me as well. Surprisingly a lot of older guys were up to date on germany but some people my age actually asked me what it was like to live under hitler. Its wild to me that people still believe todays germans have anything to do with hitler, thats like calling the entire south of the us traitors and racists. And even that has more foundation than calling germans today nazis considering its not too unusual to see confederate flags in the south. You'll barely see german flags in germany, let alone any flags that indicate support for hitler or the nazis. That goes for many countries too, not just america. The poles and russians seem to have issues thinking about what "80 years" means
@@Achie79 Bitte sag mir das ist ein Scherz

I once was on a French train with my two best friends and we were going hiking in the Pyrennees. The train was full of old religious US-Americans going to Lourdes, because apparently you can drink holy water and pray for a miracle there. We had a hiking guide (a book) with us, and I asked my friend: "Gibst du mir mal den Wanderführer?" The next minute hell broke loose and lots of overweight old Americans accused us of talking about the "Fuhrer".
It took me a moment to connect the dots and I explained to them that I asked for our walking guide. And that "guide" translates to "Führer". The response cracked me up even more, because a woman patted me on the arm and kept repeating: "It's okay. He's dead. He's dead! You understand?"
It was one of the funniest things I experienced with Americans. In the end we gave up explaining and let everyone assume we were big bad Nazis. We really couldn't get the message through to them that we were going hiking and the book was our guide.
sauber :DDD
Maybe they understood " Wonder Fuhrer" statt Wanderführer ...
Beware of wonder weapon 😁
heikel aber lustig im Endeffekt!
Bitte sag, dass du dir das ausgedacht hast.
Did these americans know, that nearly every german has a Führerschein?
Jokes on her. They gonna be talking about her a lot more now.
The fact she is insisting on them speaking English, considering that there's no official federal language in the USA makes this all the more baffelling.
Oh, I had a similar experience back in London back in the day. During my time at an international school in Germany I had learned to speak English, but my good friend from Manchester had grown up in Germany from pre-Kindergarten age, so his spoken German was flawless; way better than my spoken English. When during his high school he moved back to Manchester with his family we still kept in contact. When I took a trip to Manchester, we also decided to go to London together to visit his grandma there. She lived in the outskirts of London so we regularly took the Tube into London. As my friend had noticed his German deteriorating due to not being used regularly he asked me to speak German with him as much as possible, which I obviously obliged him.
So we sat in the Tube, gabbing away in German, to give him some practice.
During one of these trips an old lady, very noticably British, not so subtly, and very clearly said: "Look at those damn Nazis!"
Both my buddy and I understood her very clearly but didn't react to her insult (which obviously wasn't true in ANY sense of the word). Instead, we switched to English mid sentence with just a confirming nod and began talking about how friendly the British people were, how incredibly welcoming, and how we had finally advanced beyond old hatred... again, in the best Cockney accent we both could manage. We weren't talking TO her, or even ABOUT her, but we could see both her face turn noticably red, as well as the very subtle, almost completely suppressed snickers of the other people on board the Tube train, as they understood EXACTLY what we were doing. Without resorting to insults or being antagonizing to her.
We were laughing about it the whole day.
Ich finde die kruden Auffassungen der Briten mehr als befremdlich. Dieses Selbstbild. Ein Staat, der 91% der Erdoberfläche überfallen, den halben Erdball gewaltsam unterdrückt und destabilisiert und die Bevölkerungen ganzer Kontinente ausgerottet hat, beschwert sich darüber, dass sich die Deutschen ein kleines Stück Osteuropa krallen wollten und dann gibt es Briten, die Deutsche heute noch als "Nazis" bezeichnen. Vielleicht sollte man Briten als Genozid-Imperialisten bezeichnen, damit sie anfangen, endlich ihre eigene Geschichte aufzuarbeiten.
Great friendship, love your experience and humor!
My cousin and I, both Germans, went on a student exchange to Brighton in the 80ies. On our first day there, another German student got stabbed in a disco. He died on the street because of the high blood loss. The murderer stabbed him with the words "I hate Germans!"
I remember two random people who apologized for the murder when they heard us speak in German. It still makes me sad if I think about it.
There are still quite some elderly people in UK who have suffered during WWII and were not able to overcome their hatred of everything and everyone German. But their numbers are dwindling down fast now.
@@dagmaranja888 Wow - did they catch the thugs?

I refuse to believe that a person behaves like this without having some real mental problems. Most Karens seem to go through a serious paranoid episode or something.
One possible reason to explain this could have been the "german stare". Maybe one of them just looked at her while they were talking, without thinking about it. That's why she thought, they are making fun of her.
At least that's what I want to believe. I don't want to believe a person would just go batshit crazy like this.
@@Gokudo87 Its probalby both. There could habe been a nonverbal "trigger" in some kind and she reacted to it because sche isnt psychological allright. Because even if there has been a trigger, it still really isnt a decent reaction to behave this way.
@@rafaelstoll3305 true
I don’t know about this one, but some “Karen“ videos are indeed just very mentally unwell women being filmed while having a breakdown in public which is very sad and shameful tbh. Of course there are still actual Karens and I’m not excusing racist or harassing behaviour in any case.
Stop using mental health as a crutch.
Just enables more people to act worse because they can use the crutch of mental health opposed to self control.
We have all had fucked up lives, doesn't give you the right to treat those around you like shit.
As a Turk, most of Germans are just Amazing and very kind person. I ve been couples times Germany, I have German friends but all of them truly honest and and frindly person
